Thank you for the big monthly pass!!

On December 12, LL Films' second film of the year "Merry Christmas" was officially released, the film was very popular with the audience for its warm love and hilarious humor, and it catered to the Christmas schedule, and won a box office of 1.21 million on the first day of its premiere.

This result ranks second at the first-day box office of Hong Kong films, second only to the 1.45 million box office of "Best Partner 3 Queen's Secret" in New Arts City.

Speaking of the "Best Partner" series of Xinyicheng, it undoubtedly makes countless people's eyes red.

So far, the series has filmed a total of three films, and all of them were the box office champions of the year, although 1984 has not passed, but "Best Partner 3 The Queen's Secret Order" broke the Hong Kong film box office record of 29.28 million to dominate the annual box office, only narrowly brought the Hong Kong box office into the 30 million mark, everyone believes that this film will be the annual box office champion undoubtedly.

"Best Partner 3 Queen's Secret" can be said to be a record-breaking movie, with a first-day / single-day box office champion record of 1.45 million Hong Kong dollars, a first-week / single-week box office champion record of 9.32 million Hong Kong dollars, and a first-month/single-month box office champion record of 29.28 million Hong Kong dollars (Hong Kong movies at this time are generally released for four weeks and 28 days).

"Best Partner 3 Queen's Secret Order" has been breaking through all the way and became the box office champion of the year in 1984 in the form of creating a number of records, which shows that the current New Arts City is in full swing, and the Hong Kong film market at this time is also expanding, and everyone believes that in 1985, Hong Kong will give birth to the first 30 million box office film.

Although the first-day box office of "Merry Christmas" is still some distance from "Best Partner 3 Queen's Secret", it is already the second-best first-day box office result, so LL Films has once again gained more attention.

At the same time, Merry Christmas has its own competitor, The Owl and Dumbo.

This movie is directed and acted by Sammo Hung , plus starring Lin Zixiang, Yip Dexian and Michelle Yeoh, Sammo Hung is now one of the few martial arts stars in Hong Kong, plus Lin Zixiang, who overwhelmed Hui Guanjie's sales in the first week of this year's record, and Miss Malaysia Michelle Yeoh, and action comedy, a movie genre that Hong Kong fans love, has watched a lot of movies after its release.

"The Owl and Dumbo" also achieved a box office performance of 1.1 million Hong Kong dollars on the first day, and became the box office champion and runner-up on December 12 together with "Merry Christmas".

Chen Lang had also heard of the movie "The Owl and Dumbo" in his previous life, and he fought with his own company's films, so he paid more attention to it, but his eyes trembled.

Because the production company of "The Owl and Dumbo" is Debao, and the producer is the future famous brand king Pan Disheng.

Debao is one of the top three in the film industry that will replace Shaw Brothers in the future, and the reason why Debao can become the overlord of the film industry after Shaw Brothers is because Debao's big boss acquired Shaw Brothers Cinemas and formed his own cinema line Debao.

Chen Lang knew that Debao was formed by Sammo Hung and Cen Jianxun as early as last year, and now he sees Pan Disheng in the producer column, obviously Pan Disheng has invested in Debao.

This marks that Pan Disheng has begun the strategy of using increasingly popular movies to promote his famous brand, by the way, picking up girls and supporting Michelle Yeoh, although the two are divorced in the end.

Chen Lang has always regarded Pan Disheng as his biggest enemy in the film industry in the near future, the reason is that in his previous life, Shaw Brothers Cinemas was acquired by Pan Dickson, and then directly created Debao, one of the three overlords in the film industry.

Unexpectedly, the two would meet now, although Pan Disheng may not know that there is an enemy of Chen Lang at present.

For this reason, Chen Lang also paid more attention to the box office battle between the two films, and the box office "Merry Christmas" on the first day beat "The Owl and Dumbo" with 1.21 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office.

The two films also officially kicked off the 1984 Christmas box office war.

A week later, "Merry Christmas" became the weekly box office champion with a score of 9.05 million Hong Kong dollars, which was second only to the 9.35 million of "Best Partner 3 Queen's Secret", which really stunned many people.

This movie does not have the big scenes and big investment of "Best Partner 3 The Queen's Secret", nor does it have the surprise and exciting action scenes of "The Owl and Dumbo", it wins purely with comedy and warmth, but unexpectedly, it has achieved a weekly box office result second only to "Best Partner 3 The Queen's Secret", which obviously exceeded everyone's expectations.

The first week result of 9.05 million is very impressive, although no one thinks that "Merry Christmas" can threaten the championship of "Best Partner 3 Queen's Secret", but this result is really scary enough, if it maintains this hot momentum, it has a good chance of winning the annual box office runner-up.

At this time, the runner-up of the annual box office in 1984 was "Shaolin Kid" starring Jet Li, with a box office of 22.28 million, and its first-week result was only 8.93 million Hong Kong dollars, which was 120,000 Hong Kong dollars less than the first week box office of "Merry Christmas".

The film "Merry Christmas" is produced by LL Films, and the previously released "Frog Prince" has a box office of 18.1 million, ranking eighth in the annual box office for the time being, and with such momentum as "Merry Christmas", it will definitely surpass "The Frog Prince" and even rank second in the year.

Although LL Films is not a second-rate film company, it only produced two films in a year, and its box office exceeded 18 million Hong Kong dollars, and all of them ranked in the top ten of the annual box office, which is really a bit terrifying.

The subsequent "Merry Christmas" continued to decline at the box office, but the decline was very low, and the popularity was still hot, with a box office of 7.21 million Hong Kong dollars in the second week, a decrease of only 20%, and the box office decline in the third week was still controlled within 20%, with another 5.86 million Hong Kong dollars and 3.66 million Hong Kong dollars in the fourth week.

Four weeks later, because the schedule arranged by Shaw Brothers had passed, it could only be painted, although it was only released for four weeks, but now Hong Kong movies are like this, and Chen Lang is not easy to force, and finally the total box office of "Merry Christmas" reached 25.78 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking second in the 1984 annual box office list.

As for "The Owl and Dumbo", which was released at the same time as "Merry Christmas", although it was suppressed until the next painting, "The Owl and Dumbo" still achieved a box office success of 21.31 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking sixth in the annual box office list in 1984.

Chen Lang was very happy to see this result, and his first meeting with Pan Disheng was a win, hoping to bring good luck to the upcoming theater battle.

Of course, even happier is that both of LL's films this year are in the top 10 of the annual film list ("The Frog Prince" slipped to 10th place due to "Merry Christmas" and "The Owl and Dumbo"). ）

"The Frog Prince" invested nearly 4 million and had a box office of 18.1 million, and "Merry Christmas" invested 5 million and had a box office of 25.78 million, all of which are typical representatives of small investment and big box office.

LL Film Company will receive a box office dividend of 15.35 million as usual, but because of the agreement with Fang Yihua, it will give up an extra 10% of the box office dividend, that is, 4.38 million Hong Kong dollars, and finally make a profit of less than 11 million Hong Kong dollars, and after removing 9 million investments, the profit is less than 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

Compared with the high box office of the two movies, Chen Lang was unwilling for a while, but fortunately, as long as he waited for a few more months, this agreement would be invalidated, and he would have the foundation to establish himself in the film industry.

After the release of "Merry Christmas", Chen Lang once again escaped to school to continue his studies, and while LL Film Company paid close attention to the box office of the movie, LL Records also began to build momentum for Chen Lang, of course, other record companies are the same.

"Chen Lang, the king of the music world, is domineering!"

"Alan Tam has risen strongly, the biggest surprise in the music industry this year!"

"Chen Baiqiang, the prince is still the same!"

"Leslie Cheung, "Monica" is popular in Hong Kong!"

"Jenny, the queen of the music world, a strong comeback!"

……

Now all the record labels are rushing for the coming crazy January, and the major media and newspapers are starting to warm up for the three major award ceremonies.

As a result, predictions for various awards have been released, and there are also various predictions for the prospects of the singers, the most eye-catching of which is naturally the top four of the new generation.

"1984 is coming to an end, and there is only less than a month before the three major awards ceremonies in Crazy January, and countless singers and fans are looking forward to the arrival of the three major music festivals, as the year-end summary of the Hong Kong music scene, and it is also a major event in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

At the same time, it has also caused predictions from major media and newspapers, making the awards season that has not yet come seem very hot.

This year, the Hong Kong music scene is still developing rapidly, and it has truly entered the era of the new generation of singers.

Except for Zhen Ni, no singer of the older generation has achieved more than 100,000 first-week sales, and the four male singers of the new generation have sold more than 130,000 copies in the first week, and the highest record of the older generation of singers is currently 270,000 copies of Lin Zixiang's five platinums, and the minimum sales of the four male singers of the new generation have also reached 300,000 copies of six platinums.

The Hong Kong music scene ushered in a new era, and at the beginning of this new era, the performance of the four male singers can be said to be dominant, and the fierce competition between the four male singers and the record companies to which the four male singers belong has also made the Hong Kong music scene more lively.

The outstanding performance of the four male singers naturally made the four of them the favorites of the three major award ceremonies, I believe that everyone has already guessed who these four male singers are, after all, everyone always talked about the four side by side some time ago.

They are Chen Lang of LL Records, Alan Tam of Polygram Records, Chen Baiqiang of Warner Records, and Leslie Cheung of Huaxing Records. ”
